The prevention and treatment of national football disease in China has a long history. As early as 1300 BC in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, foot disease was recorded in Shang dynasty. According to legend, in Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang suffered from onychomycosis, and a man named Ye Gong cured him with a "square flat shovel". Callus and corns were recorded in Treatise on Febrile Diseases in Sui Dynasty, so the history of foot surgery is also very long.
By the Qing Dynasty, pedicure had become a specialized industry because of its emphasis on "pedicure". During Guangxu period, there was a written record of "pedicure gouging out corns" in Five Miscellaneous Words written by Li in Dingxing, Hebei Province, which shows that pedicure was widely used for foot patients at that time.
